Welcome to Journey North's spring monarch migration season! Starts February 4, 2010

Winter: We begin each year while the monarchs are still at the overwintering sites, deep in central Mexico. The monarch’s story of survival during the winter months in Mexico is as spectacular as their incredible migration. During the first weeks, we’ll look at the monarch’s winter habitat and their adaptations for survival.
Spring: Get ready to track the migration! The monarchs head north in March. Find out how to report your sightings and track the migration on real-time migration maps.
